The Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and his wife seemed to skip the Met Gala in New York City on Monday, May 5, with the three-time MVP choosing to catch the NBA Playoffs instead.
The 29-year-old and Brittany made an appearance at the fashion event during the 2023 edition, but have now skipped subsequent occasions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; which is often frequented by celebrity A-listers.
For example, Lewis Hamilton, Sabrina Carpenter, Zendaya, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian turned out for the famous red carpet walk, but the quarterback couldn't be spotted.
He appears to have had his feet up on his sofa in Missouri as he watched the Boston Celtics take on the New York Knicks in the Second Round of the 2024/25 NBA Playoffs based on social media.
He wasn't the only celebrity figure to blank the night either, with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce similarly not in attendance despite the NFL tight end having a reputation for his fashionable looks.
"Can't believe that shot didn't go," Mahomes posted to X.com, formerly Twitter, on Monday as he watched the Knicks claim a stunning 108-105 win over the champions at the TD Garden.
Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby starred on the night for the NYC team as they posted a combined 58 points, eight assists and eight rebounds, whilst Jayson Tatum was the Celtics' standout player with 23 points, 16 rebounds and six assists.
What is the Met Gala?
The Met Gala is an annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City and marks the opening of the Institute's annual fashion exhibit.
